<p>Hey, how do we log into are MIT email from home?</p>
<p>webmail.mit.edu =D</p>
<p>What exactly is RSI?? any web site link?</p>
<p>no, i don't have time to nobody this summer :(. i think i'll fly from israel to romania and spend the rest of the summer there.</p>
<p>Wait, so do they really give us some spending money? because on the handbook it says bring 50$ per week</p>
<p>It is my understanding that they will give us vouchers to use on campus to buy meals. It is also my understanding that these vouchers are like most vouchers in the sense that they will not work just anywhere (aka Boston/in situations where we may want to buy MIT apparel) nor will they have any cash value. I'm pretty sure that this is where the "bring $50 a week" comes in.</p>
<p>I can't believe we don't get stipends.</p>
<p>Wait, so do you think we only get meals for free? Do we have to come back to MIT for lunch if we work somewhere else, though? I was kind of hoping we would get some allowance cash to spend .. not all over boston but just MIT campus credits. And stipends would be sweet but i don't think that's ever going to happen because the program relies on donations and grants.</p>
<p>We could always - uh - pack lunches? You got the same handbook as me.....</p>
<p>If you're not working on campus you will get money to buy lunch, and money for the bus or T.</p>
<p>you get about $7 or maybe $5 a day for lunch if you work off campus, and you still get the same amount of money on your techcash (which is basically an mit credit card that you can use for anything food related). what you should do if you work off campus is to save the $5 cash you get from rsi, and buy something at laverdes to take with you.</p>
<p>Okay, so I assume the $50/week is still necessary?</p>
<p>Also, do the rooms we get look as cool as the pictures of Simmons that are posted online?</p>
<p>haha, or you can keep the cash and buy something from laverdes with your techcash. actually, nevermind...cee will hate me if i say this, but i will say that i had $800 on my car while others had $600. mwahahaha</p>
<p>i also heard something that i have no idea if it's true or not, but experimental data does warrant it to be true. rsi appears to give more techcash to people who are in a "relationship". so, i guess if you're a guy and want more money, you could always just hook up with someone. :p</p>
<p>What? Is this an inside joke or something?</p>
<p>sort of. but not really. you guys will have the same director as 06 did, and apparently, a friend of mine heard it directly from him. </p>
<p>btw- i'm nobodying near the end of rsi, right after i get back from issi. so if any of you have my dear friend arhana as a counselor, i would really appreciate it if you could remember all the embarrassing stories about her and relate them to me.</p>
